glass half full

Trying to keep a positive outlook on things lately. Instead of seeing Caroline as mouthy I am thinking of calling her expressive. Instead of thinking of Olivia as whiny I will call her emotionally in tune. Instead of calling Amelia a monster I will say she is highly spirited and overly intelligent. Instead of being sad Chris has to leave for a few days I am going to remember the old adage of absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Instead of being anxious and stressed about the holidays I am going to be jolly and excited!
Instead of thinking of all the calories I am consuming I am going to relish the wonderful flavor of the holiday treats. Instead of wondering which appliance will die next I am enjoying my warm DRY clothes after a week with NO dryer.
I could go on and on but I won't because it depresses me.
